There's drunk... then there is 'mint julep drunk'

As long as I have watched the Kentucky Derby and Gone with the Wind, I have wanted to try a mint julep. Something about a big frosty silver cup being handed to you by a servant in white gloves while you sit out under a magnolia tree really spoke to me. However, I learned on Friday a few other facts about drinking MJs:

1. The longer it mellows, the tastier it becomes

2. I get really drunk on Jim Beam.

3. I get really drunk and hyper on Jim Beam mixed with sugar and mint

4. I began to speak with a Southern accent and was curiously interested on the price of cotton and whether the south would rise again

5. After not too long, I began slurring my southern accent.

Anyways, the verdict is they are pretty good. Not really a drink at the bar drink, but more of a 'im home and dont plan on going anywhere very fast very soon' drink.

[Note: There are pictures, but blogger is being a punk ass bitch and wont let me post them. Assclown]

The football game on Saturday was fun. Saskatchewan Roughrider fans are weeeird dude. They were all wearing watermelon helmets on their heads and seemed more interested in pissing off Stamps' fans than actually watching the game. There was a streaker at the end. That was pretty funny. He apparently went 110 yards before his arrest. [sadly, no one has it on youtube. sorry, i looked]

Other weekend fun included my babysitting of another greyhound, Bongo, who happens to be Digit's little female doppleganger. Im not too happy with her right now as she was protesting her accomodation at 4 am this morning...which got Digit rooing and complaining as well. Idiots.

I wonder if Drew from Toothpaste for Dinner reads my blog-- cuz he posted this cartoon last week after i linked to 'With you Always'.

If you do, dude, your shit totally cracks me up-- both of your sites and your wife Natalie's as well. Highlight of the day. And I think your fat pugs are cute.

So my website of the day will be the above linked sites... hooray for drew and natalie! the best time wasting daily internet cartoons of the internet!

As for Blogger: I feel your pain.

As for the Julep, thanks for the tip. I've never actually let one mellow before. I suppose I'll make like 5 of them right away the next time we have them, just for me. By the time I get to #3 I might be able to experience what you're talking about/abooot.

As for the football, I'm an Eskimos fan, so it's been a tough year....

I've never had a Mint Julep...I may have to try one. Since I got the REAL DEAL Southern accent going on right here. That's right. I've accepted it. Doesn't mean I'm proud or anything.

I've had mint juleps. They are good for accidentally forgetting sex with your boyfriend.

Not that it happened to me.

I saw that Toothpaste for Dinner last week and wondered the same thing-- or you just started an internet trend that took off like wildfire. With You Always may be the next Chuck Norris.
